The Hughes Network Systems 9400 Series Broadband Satellite Terminals are your gateway to
global communication. The 9400 Series terminals have a common IDU that is branded as the
Hughes 9450 IDU and it supports both the Class 10 (C10) and Class 11 (C11) antenna.
The 9400 Series terminals allow you to simultaneously send and receive IP packet and circuit-
switched data via Ethernet (Power over Ethernet) ports and the Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) interfaces over the Inmarsat BGAN satellite network.
These units offer you the following features and benefits:
• Fully autonomous tracking antenna acquires and tracks the BGAN satellite signal while
on the move
• Easy antenna installation (magnetic mount) on vehicle roof
• Includes RF cable and power cable for vehicular installation
• Up to 492 Kbps data (transmit and receive) and 256 Kbps streaming IP data rate (C10
only)

. However, below 45 degree look angle to the satellite the max streaming rate is
128kbps.

.
• 4 X RJ-45 Power over Ethernet ports
• ISDN voice (3.1KHz audio) (above 20 degree look angle to the satellite)
• ISDN data (64Kbps) (above 20 degree look angle to the satellite)
• Multi-user capability for sharing a single unit
• Selectable Quality-of-Service (QoS)
• Full IP compatibility for Email, file transfer (FTP), browsing, VPN, etc.
• Cost-effective “always-on” access – charges only for data sent and received
• UMTS IP-based services
• WLAN, FCC and CE certified
• Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card security
The unit is easy to install and connects in minutes. It is built for use in vehicular environments.

Best efforts performance under moving conditions depending on obstruction of satellite signal. Signal outages of more
than 60 seconds will cause circuit switched calls to be dropped and packet switched sessions being interrupted. May
require user intervention to reactivate connections for longer outage durations.
